Product Description
When you drizzle some vincotto with fig over these fantastic and very different cheeses, you begin to understand the incredible new dimensions that emerge from these cheeses. Vincotto is a velvety liquid made by cooking and reducing the grape must from two distinct grape varietals, malvasia and negroamaro, for a period of fifteen hours. It is then aged for four years in oak barrels, allowing the taste and consistency to develop. While there are some overtones of a fine Balsamic, this elixir must never be confused with Balsamic vinegar. Vincotto has nuances of prunes, spices and heady grape components and is not as woody as Balsamic. When combined with the flavor of figs, these cheeses transform into the perfect dessert. (250ml.) Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro del Tempo is a superior, 22-month aged Grana Padano produced by Agriform near Venice. This masterpiece compares beautifully with its better-known cousin Parmigiano Reggiano. The flavor of Stravecchio is intense and complex, with fruity overtones that evoke pineapple or strawberry, depending on the season. (1/2 lb.) Bleu d'Auvergne is a blue from southeastern France. It is creamier than Roquefort owing to the fact that it is made from cow's milk rather than sheep's. (1/2 lb.) Vermont: Classic Chevre by Vermont Butter & Cheese Company Distinguished by a simple, mild, fresh goats milk favor. (4 oz.) Acacia Wood Bread Board with Black Ceramic Dipping Bowl is the perfect way to serve this collection. Pour Vincotto into the bowl (it fits nicely in its own grove so it is less likely to spill), add a spoon, and allow guests to drizzle on their slices of cheese. Board Dimensions12x9.5x5. Please note that any item out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.
